GordianKnot not combining audio/video

[azz2azz]

Hi, I did a few rips so far with GordianKnot which all came out good except for the fact that the audio and video stream were not combined (so I had to use nandub to combine them avi and mp3). The credits video stream doesn't add either when I use a different bitrate for this part.

Anyone know what's going on here? It's just silly having to do it manually each and every time.

Thank in advance.

PS: Sorry if this question was alrday covered, but I could not find any previous posts/faq on this topic.

Please post one of your _Gknot.log files here.

That didn't help too much, since it was the log from a compressibility check, rather than a log from one of your encoding jobs. But as you can see, it does divulge setup information, and show the results from job steps.

Find a _Gknot.log file from one of your actual encoding jobs. If you're following Doom9's guide, and have no errors, you should see setup and configuration information conversion of .ac3 audio to .mp3 audio recalculation of video bitrate (optional) a single pass encoding in VirtualDub of end-credits, and a recalculation of video bitrate first pass of the main movie in VirtualDub second pass of the main movie in VirtualDub muxing of the completed movie with the .mp3 audio in Nandub

You're right, sorry.

I got of my lazy ass and I dug a little deeper myself though and I think it's because I don't have enough HDD space left.

I end up with a file FRAMESERV.avi (the final movie according to the log) which is small in size but actually has the audio added to it, credits should be there too then.

I didn't look at this file earlier because I just checked file sizes and came to the conclusion that it couldn't be the final movie. I figured it was just a file GordianKnot or Nandub created in the process.

Thanks

Nothing failed that I can see in this log. How big is this "small" .avi file? Does it have the complete content? From your post, it looks like you haven't examined the file yet.

The only thing I can tell by reading the log is that you may not be happy with the results, because you have a relatively small resolution, low bitrate video. (The aspect ratio is close to 4:3, and those take more bits per frame then widescreen films.)

[Swan]

This happens to me a lot too.
It happens for sure every time I run a complete first pass (but not second pass).
After the first pass is finished, I load the first pass stats file in the "Nandub Files" tab, check the stats for compressibility and create an ecf.
I then press "close" to close the Nandub Stats file.
After that, I go to the encoder tab, load the avs, the ecf and the stats file and select "Second Pass Only".

I cant figure out what I do wrong here, as far as I can see I'm just following the guide.
Even if I first go to the Audio 1 tab and make sure the correct mp3 file is selected there, plus "Just Mux" (I create the mp3 files separately) and then go to the DivX3 tab and press "Add Job To Encoding Queue", Gordian just creates an 8 KB avi file and the _movie file. When it happens, I just mux the mp3 audio with the _movie file manually in Nandub, so it's no big deal. But it's convenient when Gordian does it on autopilot. :-)
